Finally an update!

Yes I know I keep saying I'll get round to it. So what have I been up to?

Well obviously Christmas was in the way and erm yeah that's about it really.

Project photos then. First up the farmhouse/manor I've built, copying a WD article. Took about 3 weeks to get built and painted up to a level I was happy with.















































































































Happy with that, looking forward to either defending it or destroying it :)

For Christmas I got a Fortress of Redemption from Amy, which was slightly bigger than expected!

But it's an awesome piece of scenary and I'm a good chunk through painting it now. The main tower is finished, the gun and silo cover are both finished, along with all the walk ways. What's left is the silo interior and the outside walls of the bunkers and walkway. That's then the main piece finished leaving just spotlights and other small addons to plaint and place.

On to the pics:





















































































































































So that's where I've neem spending my painting time mostly... oh you don't believe me.. what do you mean I can't stay focused for that long... ok, true. I've also started work on an Ork army following some ideas my brother had. So to kick that off we have Stab:E.























I've got two trukks half painted as well, which despite being Goff are painted in a red scheme (red onez go fasta). Left to build are 20 boys, which added on to an ebay auction I won gives me 15 small vehicles (bikes, etc) and 60 various boys.

Also as part of that auction was a paint station, shown below. I was always a bit dubious about them, but it's really handy for keeping everything together and portable for quick clearing up. The multi-coloured circles in the top right are small cake tins I use as pallettes. Yes I should use something white and some are so old they probably have over 1 cm of dried paint built up in the bottom. The white metal parts scattered around are the pieces of a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch that was int he auction too.























So that's what I've been up to on the painting front, intersperred with Torchlight, Dragon Age, Defence Grid, TF2, CoD MW, CoD MW2, WoW, etc.

Future projects apart from those mentioned above...

- Finish the giant
- Finish the Space Hulk Terminators
- Finish Imperial Guard army
- Unit of Bloodletters and Daemonettes, plus a couple of characters for my daemon army

Luckily I've got a few things to watch whilst I get on with all of that (Christmas presents and sales bargains).
